so I bought these white beauties to be put on my white Celi and waiting for them to get to me...yes i know..I am in the minority of Celi fans that like white on white...but to be fair..I only like white rims as long as they have a polished lip/deepdish look on them (plain white is ugly IMO)...
so my Question is this..the factory rims for the Celi I have are the standard 15 x 7 with offset 45 imprinted on the rim...these white ones are 17 x 7 so the dimensions are not a problem, but the offset is 40... If i want to get the same offset as the factory ones..all i have to do is buy 5mm spacers right? btw..i plan on removing the namebrand sticker on the rim

+40 will work without a problem on a 7" wide rim. You will hardly notice a difference. By the way, there are tons of posts on here that say the stock offset is 38-40. I don't know because my stock GT rims did not have any number imprinted on them. My first set of aftermarket wheels were 7" and +40 and they looked fine.
